Well, displacement materials did nothing...

Using V4:  Imported several V4 scene files that I knew had HUGE texture maps, first copy dropped resources to 78%.  i did NOT hit purge memory between imports.  Second copy brought resources down to 59% - and then the resources flickered, wavered between 59% and 60% and then jumped to 64%.  I did not hit purge memory.  I loaded a third V4  - wow.  Resources dropped to.. 61%!!!

Ok, loaded V4 #4  ..ooooooo vue didnt like THAT one.  43%

I hit purge memory.  absolutely NOTHING happened.  not a flicker, not a flash, and my resources are now... 42%.  this is NOT regaining resources.  this is LOSING them.  boggles

So, those with XP 32 bit are able to use it.  Those with vista seem to have no problems as well.

Bruno - is your XP 32 or 64 bit?  Im trying now to figure out if it's platform specific, and others have noticed this (XP 64 bit) or if its something else before i send a ticket to e-on.
